The Farm and the FarmerThe Landscape of Fair MilkLeonie Füssler, Ramon Oetterli, and Patrik Willen

A supposedly blooming dairy economy, which under its surface is based on the exploitation of farmers and on symptom control by the state via direct payments. In this research project, we dive into the realm of milk, seek to give a voice to the farmers, and explore the potential of fair milk.
